Description - Wir Geben Den Ton an / We Set the Tone by Dagmar Korbacher
The Kupferstichkabinett dedicates its fourth summer exhibition to a richly varied and entertaining theme: music as depicted in drawings and prints. The exhibition presents a selection of the museum's most beautiful and humorous musical images, including prints and drawings by Andrea Mantegna, Rembrandt Harmensz. van Rijn, Adolph Menzel, Wassily Kandinsky, Henri Matisse, Pablo Picasso, Roy Lichtenstein, and Morgan O'Hara. In addition to the list of great artists featured, are the names of the great musicians and composers who are depicted in the various works, such as Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Niccolo Paganini. Whole choirs and orchestras complement other soloist works; the repertoire ranges from opera to rock, via cafe music and jazz, with the recurring leitmotif being the special affinity between musical and pictorial expression in the graphic arts.
